Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™

"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

I love flower shows. Thanks for sharing the Nashville version with us. Did you bring anything home from the show with you? And is it spring there in Tennessee yet?

I came back with a jeweled orchid and new gardening hat by the folks who make Foxgloves. Spring is still a good ways off - we've had a true winter this year complete with enough snow to go sledding! This morning it is 18 degrees. I think the groundhog must have seen his shadow.
